American Princess

The premise for this show was so "out there" that I felt that I had to take a look.

There's obviously a simple girl-meets-boy premise in there that could have been bundled off into a by-the-numbers time-travel fantasy ... but in the first three episodes there is a surprising depth of supporting characters and a willingness to attack the material with the same combination of witty allusion and earthy prat-falling that you find in Shakespeare, that I hope this series finds legs for an extended run.

Overall a strong debut, with a cast of (to me) unknowns who are obviously quite invested in their roles. The writer is pacing the material well, and there is plenty of opportunity for the lead's family to interfere - there are certainly hints of the other characters' pre-Faire back-stories potential to work their way into the storyline.

For those people saying the show is offensive? If you don't like it, then don't watch it! Yes, it is lewd and raunchy and sexist and makes fun of the serious world! It includes everyone from all over the spectrum. A rich 20 something female, gay couples, bi-racial couples, straight couples, single lonely Queen Elizabeth, and it has one very good lesson in it.. the show is about LIVING IN THE MOMENT. The renaissance faire troupe employees all care about each other like a family and support each other. Support many of them couldn't get in their past lives. Be open minded when watching this show and don't bash it because it offends you. Just change the channel. And by the way, I am a female.

Love this series. Never seen anything like it. It's fun, quirky and crazy.

If you've ever been to a ten Faire or are yourself a rennie, this show is a must. It's cute and cleaver and supporting of diverse cultures and lifestyles that exist in this world.

Refreshing and fun characters! Good storyline. Very excited to see where it can go
